The property manager was performing inspections of the apartments that week. Probably going to say she thought maintenance didn’t fully close the door.
-
Trying to make it sound like a dangerous neighborhood. Lots of break-ins and homeless people outside.
-
Did she have FAS? Something just looks off about her facial dimensions and features.

Guyger taking the stand.

Judge is not allowing testimony about where Jean was located based on the location of the shoes because there’s been no testimony that he was even wearing shoes. Defense was trying to use location of shoes to say Jean was 13-15 ft. away.

Question for the criminal experts. I thought there had been discussion that this was only a murder case? But then the defense moved for directed verdict on all of the lesser offenses, including negligent homicide.

How long until she starts crying. O/U 5 min.

The red floor mat has finally made it into evidence.
-
She had mace/pepper spray on her belt.

Interesting demonstration on the entry angle of the bullet right now. Makes it clear that Jean was not standing upright when shot. Could have been laying down, bent over, or kneeling.

Are you saying their argument is counterintuitive to the definition of reckless, or mine? Because the statute doesn't go so far as to say that. And in fact, the statute expressly says that proving someone did something intentionally counts as proving they did it recklessly if that's what the offense requires.
I’m with you. Their argument seems counterintuitive to me.

1) is it reasonable that this was her reality?
2) the "discharging a firearm immediately without ascertaining the nature of the target" part can still be reckless even in your own apartment.
I think what these legal experts (and Texas law) are saying is that the act of intentionally firing a weapon at another person cannot, by definition, be reckless, regardless of the circumstances or who you believed you were shooting. Seems counterintuitive to the definition of reckless.

The judge sequestered this jury beginning on Monday. I’m not sure if that includes cutting them off from the internet.
-
Is this now the 5th or 6th resident talking about hearing gunshots but nothing else prior to the shooting? At what point is marching out all these residents unnecessarily duplicative and cumulative?

Judge will not allow Ranger to testify about the reasonableness of Guyger’s actions.

Just now, TXSooner518 said:
I was out of the stream for a bit. Is this testimony before the jury, or is this still opinion testimony that the Judge wasn't going to allow before the jury, offered for record only?
I was out for a bit but it now appears you are correct. Jury is not hearing the Ranger’s testimony.
-
Ranger agrees it was reasonable for her to conclude Jean was an intruder and threat. Very bad for the State.
-
The Ranger agreed with defense counsel that her reaction to shoot at a perceived threat was reasonable, and that she didn’t have time to get to cover or call for backup.

A technical explanation from the Ranger for why the door wouldn't fully close itself.
Bent strike plate.

Alternate view of Jean’s apartment. There is a counter in both apartments.
-
There’s more pictures of the apartments on that twitter account.
Edit: Top photo is Jean’s apartment. Bottom is Guyger’s.
-
Based on this line of questioning to the Texas Ranger, it sounds like we’re going to get a comparison of the layouts of the apartments.

Day 3 starting. One of the jurors has a “professional relationship” with one of yesterday’s witness. May have to dismiss the juror.
